Dane Shadow was in the news over the weekend after siring his very first winner when Shadow Assassin raced into Magic Millions contention after capturing the $200,000 MM Strawberry Hill Prelude so its well worth having a look at pictures of his five youngsters catalogued for Sessions One to Five of Magic Millions 2009.

Shadow Assassin might be the first winner for Kitchwin Hills based Dane Shadow (pictured above), but he also has a few others knocking on the door in three times city placed Shellscrape and smart filly Shadow Miss, who resumed from a spell with a good second to Indian Ocean at Rosehill on Saturday.

A $100,000 purchase from the Kulani Park Magic Millions draft, Shadow Assassin was one of the 18 youngsters from the first crop of Dane Shadow that sold at major Australasian sales in 2008.

The Dane Shadow Fabulous Five for MM in 2009 are as follows:

Lot 80 Colt Dane Shadow x Sin Bin (NZ) Kitchwin Hills

Second foal of a half-sister to the dams of stakes-winners Shelbourne Lass, Skoozi Please and Confluence. Prolific Black Type family of dual Group One winner Vinaka.

Lot 278 Colt Dane Shadow x Best Out West Kitchwin Hills

Full brother to smart filly Shadow Miss and half-brother to stakes-winner Stone Canyon.

Lot 500 Colt Dane Shadow x Janelle Again (NZ) Kitchwin Hills

Half-brother to million dollar earner Fair Embrace, 6 wins including Group Two MVRC Champagne Stakes.

Lot 615 Colt Dane Shadow x Naughty Girl Kitchwin Hills

Second foal of a half-sister to Group One AJC Flight Stakes winner Royal Purler.

Lot 785 Filly Dane Shadow x Citiscene Reavill Farm

First foal of well-related Snippets mare Citiscene and is very closely related to Shadow Assassin, whose dam Mascara Magic is a full sister to the grand-dam of this filly in Citirecruit.
